npm install error

[pankaj0812]

The following error would come up for some users on Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS when trying to set up the code repo for the first time :

> node ./build.js

gyp ERR! build error 
gyp ERR! stack Error: not found: make
gyp ERR! stack     at getNotFoundError `

It requires the build-essential package which can be installed by running the following on the terminal:
sudo apt-get install build-essential

Reason:
The Program make is the missing dependency and the build-essential package installs it along with other build tools like g++. This is needed to compile node.

I'm getting this same issue, but on a Mac environment. Does anyone know how to fix this for mac?
